WEGOVY DIARIES | WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY 💪🏼 | WEEK 1 VLOG 🥴 | MY ROUTINE ON GLP-1 MEDICATION
Our summary
In this vlog, Diamante Maria records her first week on Wegovy, starting with an at-home weigh-in on April 7th and body measurements. She reports a gain of about a pound, a metabolic age of 34, and measurements of roughly 42.5 inches at the bust, 38.5 at the waist and 52.5 at the hips. She also explains how she got the prescription: labs, a talk with her physician, a call to her insurer about covered GLP-1 medications, and a pre-authorization form. She says her copay was $25 and a caseworker found a coupon that made it free. She describes calling pharmacies, asking about stock near the end of the month, and getting her fill in under a week.

What else the video covers
She then shows her first injection, given by her fiance Lou from a 0.25 mg pen that she stored in the fridge, and walks through the days that followed. She reports queasiness, tiredness and fatigue early in the week, her worst day on Tuesday with nausea and food aversion, and no "food noise" throughout. She says she managed nausea with Tums and small meals, ate five or six times a day, and used fruit before gym sessions. She shows her vitamins, greens, collagen and Prime hydration drinks, and describes a restaurant outing where a spritz made her tipsy after a few sips and she ate two slices of a 14-inch pizza.
The last section is a weekly recap of what helped and what did not, including protein-focused meals, meal alarms, fiber, prunes, and a hearty meal before injection day. She says she holds back her second weigh-in result for the next video. All doses, results and tips are her personal experience, not medical advice.

Questions this video answers
What side effects did she have in the first week of Wegovy?
She reports nausea, queasiness, acid reflux, tiredness and food aversion, with Tuesday being her worst day. She says Tums and eating small meals five or six times a day kept it manageable, and she felt more like herself by the end of the week.
How did she get her Wegovy prescription and what did it cost?
She says she got labs, discussed GLP-1s with her physician, asked her insurer which ones were covered, and had a pre-authorization form sent to the doctor. Her copay was $25, and she says a caseworker found a coupon that made it free.
How does she deal with Wegovy pen shortages?
She says the shortage is with the pens, not the medication, and she called many pharmacies. A pharmacist told her the end of the month is a good time to ask, and she says being friendly helped her get her fill in less than a week.
Can you drink alcohol on Wegovy according to this video?
She says it is not recommended, but she tried it. She reports getting tipsy after about five sips of a spritz and not finishing her drink, and she suggests moderation if someone chooses to drink.

- The best GLP-1 for weight loss, ranked by the evidence and then by the bill
By weight lost, the order is settled: tirzepatide (Zepbound) first at 20.2% in the only head-to-head, then semaglutide 7.2 mg (Wegovy HD) at 18.7%, then semaglutide 2.4 mg (Wegovy) at 13.7% to 15.6%, then the pills. By what you pay, the order nearly inverts: compounded semaglutide from $69 a month, the Wegovy tablet from $149, Wegovy pen $349, Zepbound $299 to $699 by dose. The best one is where those two lists meet for your budget and your plan.
- The Wegovy dosing chart, and what year one actually costs
The Wegovy pen ladder is 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 1.7 mg and 2.4 mg, with a 7.2 mg high-dose strength above it, stepped up over months rather than started at the target. Novo's self-pay price is flat at $349 a month across the whole standard range, so climbing costs nothing extra. What that flat number hides is the first year: a new self-pay patient gets two fills at $199 before the $349 starts, and a box is a 28-day supply, so a year takes 13 boxes: $4,237 for the first year rather than the $4,537 the sticker implies.
- Is Hims legit? What its GLP-1 program costs, what reviews say, and its FDA record
Yes. Hims & Hers is a real, licensed telehealth company, and as of October 2026 its weight-loss program sells FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s: the Wegovy pill starts at $149 a month for the medication, plus a membership of $39 for the first month and $149 a month after, so about $298 a month from month two. It scores 2.9 on Trustpilot across 9,517 reviews, and FDA sent it a warning letter in September 2025 over compounded semaglutide marketing claims.
